Priprioca (Cyperus articulatus var. nodosus, Cyperaceae) Hydrolate as Larvicidal against Aedes aegypti
Keyword(s):
Dengue cases have grown significantly in Brazil in recent years. Studies with plant extracts show the insecticidal potential of bioactive substances that become candidates for future commercial products. This work evaluated the larvicidal effect of essential oil, without hydrolysis of Cyperus articulatus var. nodosus against the third and fourth wide stage of Aedes aegypti, which reduces larvae survival by as much as the 3th and 4th instar of Ae. aegypti. A chemical characterization of the hydrogen skeletons was performed by the GC-MS, revealing verbenone (%), trans-sabinol (%) and mirtenol (%) as major compounds.
